Once again moments on PTS...straight to Live.
Is that the same dance emote as the last time this ran?
Also, it'd be lovely if those exclusive costume tokens had anything new to buy. As an LTS, I already have everything in that store - but it's a great opportunity for anyone who does not.
Oh yay!
so I can create the character, run tutorial THEN go see defender, then continue leveling to 40? got it. thanks. too bad 2xp wasnt still going on.
TFW I just hit lvl 40 with a new character

I hope you have plenty of XP boosters from the Anniversary Gifts

Cosmics aren't mentioned, so no their rewards are unaffected. Adventure Packs and Comic Series are a series of missions, 2 of which start from Until Liaison Bradley in Rencen ( Aftershock and Project Snakecharmer ), and the other 2 start at Defender in Rencen ( Whiteout and Resistance ).
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
So such as whiteout and after shock those mission are boosted?
Thanks,
I just did Whiteout today, and the final mission reward included 10,000 Q-nite for finishing it, if that helps to know.

7x cats =210
7x destorids = 175
That's only 385. To get 700 in one week I figure you'd have to do Attend to the City's Needs 7x as well (= another 350). Might be a bit stiff unless you have currency from the previous week or from previous years.
This has come up on several otherwise excellent costume pieces throughout the years. Since this particular piece requires the equivalent of a part-time job to acquire this week, maybe somebody could look at fixing it so it will look okay if you're using two different colors?
easiest way is to grind low lvl mobs, quite possible to get 100 favour an hour that way
as for the other maintances, REALLY not a fan of this Junky animation it was given to avoid the issue, it basically use the glitch spaz animation for when your ground travel powers get glitched
I know thats a hotfix buts its so U G L Y
EDIT: actually its still broken in everything not just PA, somehow the power was glitching until a certain level
hmm I think it was linked with the power's rank i was using (Bullet Hail rank1 and rank 3 do that)
You forgot the Destroit daily from Drifter
I got around 1200 tokens from leveling up my character last week nonstop from missions

I agree, so does that mean we have to lvl a toon to 40 once again just to get the retro defender helm?? what if players already did this last time it was run ???
Yes.
What does that have to do with this time? Different event..different rewards.
Epic Stronghold

You need to get to level 6 before you can use the 30 boost... but would that actually count?
They said get a new char to lv40 by ANY MEANS. So yeah, I think that counts. RIP your Zen tho.

The only rules are:
1. Character created after start date.
2. Character level 40 before end date.
That's it. That's all. Those are the only rules. If something isn't mentioned in 1 or 2 it doesn't matter.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Yeah, I just came back from a long hiatus. I've got some Zen sitting around from my LTS stipend being ignored for years. Grinding the last 10 levels won't be too taxing, and another set of Primary Heirlooms looks appealing.
if you intend buying a lvl 30 boost and grinding last ten levels, you'd be better off grinding first 24 levels (you start at 6) then buying 10 +1 lvl boosts that cost the same as a lvl 30 boost. Its far far faster to lvl from 6-30 than it is from 30-40
and BOY, those are a lot of different animations together... what is this dance based on?
The Jazzercise dance has spoiled us, and hence was a mistake u3u
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
That reminds me, what's the most efficient way to grind these days? I've been running XP Alerts.
I did jail mobs in westside to 12 then the destroids in ren cen, topping up the alert buff as needed
There are a few clusters in the game where you can get ten or twelve missions all in the same area and wander around and pretty easily complete all of them at once. For example, Gadget Boy and Doctor Toru next to the group of Qularr on Monster Island, or the cluster of missions around the dome city of Lemuria. I usually try and hit all these with a grab bonus and an item bonus. Between them it's more of a scramble.
I’m even willing to compromise that 5 exclusives = 1 Dev special costume voucher
